YOUR NEW MACHINE: 

 When you receive your new machine, examine 
the packaging for signs of shipping damage. 
Carefully unpack the machine and inspect it. If 
you see evidence of damage to the container or 
the contents, contact the freight carrier 
immediately. 
 
Additionally, ensure all parts and accessories are 
present; if you notice anything missing, contact 
your distributor without delay. 

SYSTEM FEATURES: 

VACUUM: The vacuum motors provides an 
excellent ratio of water lift to air movement (see 
specs, page2). Surface should dry quickly if not 
over-wetting while cleaning. 

 

PUMP: The pump is a piston style, positive 
displacement pump.  The AC motor runs 
continuously when turned on, the use of the 
pressure regulator enables the operator to set the 
pressure to the desired PSI, between 400 and 
1200 
 
DUMP PUMP: The dump pump is a 20 GPM sump 
style pump.  When you want to use the auto dump 
feature, just connect a garden hose to the auto 
pump outlet and turn on the dump pump (see 
switch plate descriptions). 
AUTO FILL:  connect a hose from a utility or 
janitors sink and turn on the water.  When the 
solution tank is full, an internal valve will prevent 
the tank from over-filling. 
 

CHEMICALS: 

Damage caused by the use of strong chemicals is 
not covered by the warranty.  
 
The use of powder chemicals is discouraged; 
unless they are mixed very thoroughly and rinsed 
out completely at the end of the job, powdered 
cleaners could cause a build-up in the pump, 
lines, heater and/or quick disconnect. Any 
problem caused by a chemical build-up is not 
covered by warranty.  
 
If foaming occurs as you clean, use a defoamer, 
either in the recovery tank or on the area being 
cleaned, to prevent overflow which can cause 
water damage to machine components. 

The use of clear water in the machine is 
recommended, within the application of 
properly diluted cleaner as a pre-spray on the 
area to be cleaned; however, you may mix 
water and cleaning chemicals in a bucket --  
according to directions on the chemical label  --  
and then pour into the solution tank. If you 
chose to use chemicals in the machine, always 
use a cleaner with a pH as close to neutral as 
possible to avoid premature wear of the pump, 
seals, and/or other components. 

TOOLS & ACCESSORIES: 

Use only manufacturer’s recommended tools and 
accessories. If the spray valve on your cleaning 
tool begins to leak or if the spray tips get worn 
and are no longer providing a nice even spray 
pattern, order replacements from your 
distributor. 

CARE AND MAINTENANCE: 

For continual peak operation, clean the internal 
plumbing by rinsing with clear water at the end 
of each job. About once a month, rinse the 
machine with a commercial flushing compound 
to break-up any mineral or chemical 
accumulation that may have formed from the use 
of hard water or chemicals.  
 
The vacuum motors and the pump do not require 
any scheduled maintenance; however, the 
vacuum motor may require replacement brushes 
after 750-1000 hours. 
 
To help maintain a professional image; clean the 
exterior of the machine with an all purpose 
detergent, and protect it with automobile interior 
polish. Lubricate the wheels, castors, and quick 
disconnects with an all purpose, silicone spray.
